Chapter 108: Master Zu's Manifestation
Chinese Zhang Chao ignored the old man, and followed the man in charge out of the door and entered a room opposite.
No, to be precise, the opposite side should be a large hall.
In the entire hall, carved beams and painted buildings, every brick and tile, are from the hands of the forger, that is to say, all are magic weapons!
In the middle of the main hall, a huge statue is erected.
This person is dressed in a long robe, with a long beard hanging down his chest, carrying his left hand and holding a roll of bamboo slips in his right hand.
"This is the ancestor of our forging master, and also the founder of the Guoyin Society!" the man in charge introduced: "All forging masters, when they see this image, they must worship!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Chao blinked, and was not ambiguous, knelt directly in front of the statue, and came three times fiercely.
Since this was the etiquette of the forger, he had to do it.
After getting up, the man in charge led him all the way forward, came to a high platform, bowed down and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "The disciple has something, I want to ask the deacons!"
"Speak!" came an old voice on the high platform.
"That's right!" the man in charge respectfully recounted Zhang Chao's request.
There was silence for a while, and then the old voice only said one word: "Quasi!"
"Is it accurate? This is accurate?" The old man surnamed Zuo who followed behind blew his beard and glared, unable to believe it at all.
"Yes, disciple obeys!" the man in charge turned his face sideways and winked at Zhang Chao.
"However, skipping the rank at will violates the rules set by the ancestors, so ...... Only he can jump two levels at most!" Immediately after, the old voice sounded again.
"Two levels, is it possible to challenge the assessment of Sanding Forger?" Zhang Chao's heart moved, this is also very good.
"Uh, disciple understands!" the man in charge saluted again, and then left the hall with Zhang Chao.
When the doors of the temple were closed, the sound of conversation sounded on the high platform.
"This is a rule set by our ancestors, how can you break it?"
"It's not that the old man wants to break it, but this is really because, it's the meaning of the ancestor!"
"What do you mean, old fellow, don't talk nonsense!"
"When did the old man say nonsense, look at that!" he said, pointing a finger to the huge statue.
But looking at the statue's stone eyes, a faint blue glow was flashing at this time, as if in approval.
"God, God, the ancestor has appeared!" everyone on the high platform exclaimed, followed by more than a dozen figures, swept down from the high platform, bowed respectfully in front of the statue, and kept kowtowing.
"Master Zu is above, and the disciples worship you!"
After a while, the light in the statue's eyes gradually faded, and everyone took a deep breath.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did the statue that has been silent for 10,000 years suddenly open its eyes?"
"Is it because of that young man just now?"
"It must be, it is said that the statue of the ancestor opens his eyes, which means that he has met a genius who has not been encountered in 10,000 years!"
"If that's the case, I have to take a look at that young man's assessment!"
......
The man in charge, with Zhang Chao and the old man surnamed Zuo, entered the third door in his room.
The assessment site of Sanding forgers.
"Here...... It is the ...... of the Sanding Forging Master" The old man surnamed Zuo seemed more excited than Zhang Chao, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to look left and right.
If it weren't for Zhang Chao, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the chance to set foot here in his life.
The status of the Sanding Forge is not low, in the general sect, it can take on the duties of an elder, but in some large families, it is second only to the status of the head of the family.
I thought that in the Iron Association in Cannes, Zhao Hong and Mingqiu were like them, and in the end, they could serve as vice presidents.
But Zhang Chao is different, even Ju Zitong's understanding of Zhang Chao believes that his strength in refining weapons has surpassed the scope of Erding.
In the entire assessment hall, the layout is very simple.
A chair, a refining furnace, a desk, nothing else.
At the very top of the hall, there is a row of small windows where a person looms looking down.
After the three entered, a middle-aged man, with a dark complexion and a tall figure, was sitting on the chair and waiting.
"Lord Black-faced, this Zhang Chao, come to assess the title of Sanding Forger!" The man in charge stepped forward and clenched his fists at the black-faced middle-aged man.
"Well, I've already gotten an order from the deacons! It's an exception, right? It's kind of interesting, so let's start as soon as possible, the deacons are waiting to see!"
"What, the deacons, have all come to watch?" the man in charge shrank his eyes and exclaimed.
Although the assessment of Sanding Forging is very important, there is no precedent for all the deacons to come here to observe together.
"Brother Zhang Chao, it's up to you, it seems that the deacons are looking at you differently, don't let them down!" The man in charge patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder, and then stood beside the old man surnamed Zuo.
"Your name is Zhang Chao, right? What are you good at refining?" The black-faced middle-aged man looked at Zhang Chao a few times, and asked angrily.
"It's all right!" Zhang Chao scratched his head, he didn't know what kind of magic weapon he was good at refining, it seemed that any magic weapon was similar to him.
"Are you all right?" The black-faced middle-aged man's expression moved, and then he continued: "The assessment of the forging master of our Guoyin Society, in fact, the process is not complicated, but considering that you are skipping the assessment, this is undoubtedly a provocation to the other first and second ding forging masters, so according to the requirements, the difficulty of your assessment should be slightly improved, no opinion, right?"
"Reasonable!" Zhang Chao nodded, these days, if you want to take shortcuts, you have to pay more, he understands this truth very well.
"That's good, the minimum requirement for Sanding Forging Master is to be able to skillfully refine all kinds of ground-level low-grade magic weapons, and even the ground-level middle-grade magic weapons have three points of certainty!" The black-faced middle-aged man took out a handful of bamboo sticks and handed them to Zhang Chao: "So, if you draw the same in this, it is the question you want to assess, of course, this is only the first level!"
"How many levels are there in the first level?" Zhang Chao scratched his head, raised his hand up, and pulled out a bamboo stick.
"Three passes!" The black-faced middle-aged man took the bamboo stick and glanced at it, his expression immediately became strange, and then he looked at Zhang Chao a few times: "I really don't know if you are lucky or unlucky, you can also draw this kind of lot!"
He turned the bamboo stick over to Zhang Chao to see, and then said: "The topic you want to assess is to recognize things!"
"In this atlas, there are 100,000 different refining materials, you need to identify as many as possible within three hours, and mark the character, source, and application scope of this material below!"
"If you reach 1,000 kinds, you will be considered qualified, and if you reach 10,000 kinds, you will be considered excellent, and if you reach more than 30,000 kinds, you can directly skip the second level and enter the third level immediately!"
"Oh?" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, this is very simple, what's so difficult?
But others don't think so.
The man in charge on the side, his brows were twisted: "This Zhang Chao is really unlucky, he came up and drew such a difficult assessment, like other assessments such as directly identifying a few physical objects, I don't know how many times easier than this!"
"The old man has also heard of such an item in the assessment, whether it is in the assessment of the first, second or third tripod forging masters, it seems that there are all of them, but it seems that no one has ever drawn it!" said the old man surnamed Zuo, twisting his beard.
"No, it's not that no one has ever drawn it, but whoever draws it basically can't even qualify!" The man in charge shook his head: "At least since I started here, those who can barely pass are now all famous refining masters!"
"Is it so difficult? Isn't it just to identify some materials......" The old man surnamed Zuo was very puzzled.
"Although it doesn't sound difficult, but I've seen the topics in it with my own eyes, they are all very rare, and extremely rare things, and it's not difficult to know what it is, but the source, character, application scope and other things have to be annotated, but it's as difficult as climbing to the sky, but if you only answer a little wrong, it's a failure!" The man in charge sighed and looked at Zhang Chao's somewhat thin back: "At his age, he must not have accumulated much knowledge in this area, and he can only wish him good luck!"
"Hmph, it's still bragging, this first level is going to fail, see how he brags!" The old man surnamed Zuo couldn't help sneering when he heard this, hugged his arms, and waited to see the lively posture.
In the upper window, the deacons who were waiting to observe also frowned and discussed.
After all, this kind of assessment is too difficult, and not many people have been able to pass it from ancient times to the present.
"There don't seem to be many people who have successfully passed this assessment, right? I mean excellent ......."
"Well, in the past thousand years, there have been seven people, and the most powerful of them is Xiao Nan a hundred years ago, who identified forty-seven thousand materials, and sixty years ago, that Xiao Nan was already a refining master of Wuding, as for where the others are now, no one knows for a long time!"
"Xiao Nan...... The old man still remembers that when I first entered this National Hidden Society, I was still guided by him, but unfortunately, a hundred years have passed, and it is unknown whether he is still alive in the world!"
"I don't have to reminisce about the ancients like this, let's see how many catties this Zhang Chao has, so that the ancestor can open his eyes and show his spirit, there must be his excellence, let's wait and see!"
In the examination room, Zhang Chao also had a strange expression, is this still difficult?
Seeing that the black-faced middle-aged man took out an hourglass, and then asked someone to carry it up to a table and prepare the paper, ink, pen and inkstone: "Now the timer begins, you do your best to write!"
"Yes!" Zhang Chao nodded, devoting himself to this assessment.
With the backing of "Records of Heaven and Earth", this kind of assessment is like a fish in water for Zhang Chao, his mind moved, all the properties of all materials were in his mind, he raised his pen and wrote, brushed a little bit, and marked it directly in the atlas......
